Chile is set to jointly host the world’s largest array of gamma ray telescopes. About 100 dishes are now planned to go in the Atacama Desert — close to the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Paranal — to form the southern hemisphere part of the US$330 million Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The northern hemisphere component of around 20 dishes ...

Before we start discussing tungsten radiation shield, it is necessary to know what the radiation is and how does it affect our life. Radiation simply means emission of particular type of rays from an object. Radiation from different devices has different effect on human body. For example, you are not going to have any problem with ...

Contamination monitoring of personnel in controlled areas is a legal requirement under IRR99. A budget-sensitive solution comes in the form of the new Handhound from Southern Scientific. The Handhound is wall-mounted in a stainless steel enclosure and provides a number of novel features to monitor and record radiation levels on staff hands, whilst removing the risk of equipment contamination. How ...

A new type of Radiation Measurement Instruments from “ECOTEST” trademark was introduced. December 15, 2007 – Sparing-Vist Center Company, introduced information panels IT-09 and IT-09T, the next generation in constant monitoring of radiation background. A principal reason for information panels to be laucnhed into mass production was numerous requests of our partners, who do need unit for ...

Several months ago, it was reported that food products including beef, spinach, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tea, milk, plums and fish were found to be contaminated with cesium and iodine as far as 360 kilometers from Dai-Ichi. Recently, it was also reported that about 963 pounds (437 kilograms) of beef from a farm in Minami-Soma city, 30 miles from the stricken Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear ...

US Nuclear Corp is proud to announce the Aerial Radiation Detection instruments of the DroneRAD system. In this time of multiple threats to our security: dirty bombs; cyber crime; shooters in public places; homemade bombs; misinformation; etc. we feel extremely vulnerable; perhaps more vulnerable than ever before. With the advent of Drone technology now ...

New from Southern Scientific is DoseRAE 2, a compact, direct-reading, electronic personal radiation detector with alarm that accurately accumulates real-time dose data that allows immediate reaction in case of radiation occurrences and thus can reduce radiation exposure. DoseRAE 2, which is an ideal personal dosimeter for anyone likely to be exposed to radiation hazard, uses a compensated PIN ...

The prominent Japanese food and candy maker Meiji Co. is voluntarily recalling its canned powdered milk product for infants after radiation was detected, reports the Washington Post. The company found levels of radioactive cesium that were lower than the limit imposed by the government, but Meiji Co. is pulling their products from shelves as a precautionary measure. Testing ...

Australian scientists have developed a miniature radiation detector, the size of a human cell nucleus. The detector is designed to accurately measure the amount of energy deposited by ionising radiation within a human cell nucleus allowing better understanding of radiation effects on humans, ANSTO’s on-line magazine Velocity reported this week. The technology was developed in a collaboration ...

According to the Huffington Post, a wildfire in east-central Idaho has burned three former mining sites that contain traces of radioactive thorium and uranium. The conflagration is now approaching a fourth mining site, although officials have reported that the risk to human health is low. The radiation in the mines compounds an already difficult situation: the blaze has ignited 333,000 acres of ...

Radiation screening experts from EPA Region 7 and Region 5 have completed the radiation screening of the Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex (BMAC) in Bridgeton, Mo. The screening began on Monday, May 19. The EPA screening of the 70-acre park collected data from 60,000 points along 45 miles of transecting lines. Three field survey teams worked in concert transecting the entire complex. Using ...

The successful alliance between Polimaster and Lab Impex Systems continues with the introduction of the PM1704/GN/M to the Lab Impex Systems product portfolio. The new PM1704 belongs to a family of spectroscopic personal radiation detectors which use advance search algorithms for detection and identification of radioactive sources. PM1704/GN/M range is capable of differentiating between ...

Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies that protect against biological, chemical, and radiological threats, announced today that that it has entered into an agreement with Honeywell India (a ...
